We finally got our hands on a new Retina MacBook Pro.
2012-06-26
After much searching we were able to pick up a base model at the Apple Store on Fifth Ave.
This machine has a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB flash storage hard drive.
This thing really is a beauty both on the outside and inside. While the Retina MacBook Pro isn't nearly as light as its little brother, the MacBook Air, we're amazed Apple was able to cram the newest technologies inside such a sleek frame.

Here is the box.

The retina menu. The display is bonkers. It pushes out 2880x1800 resolution. Better than HD.

Here is a photo to give you a scale of just how thin this thing is.

Here is the new MBP compared to the MacBook Air 13-inch
While the Air tapers the MBP is the same thickness all around.
From the back both computers appear to be very similar.
Here are both machines side by side
And there you have it, Apple's gorgeous new professional computer.
